My husband and I have 2 ibooks and an iMac. Not sure exactly what you need. I would recommend firefox over internet explorer. My husband has mac software downloads on his website under "downloads". www.ezpcrescue.com
Let me know if you need more assistance and I'll see what I can do.

I've used Mac for over 22 years now and unfortunately there is limited help for this right now. That is why we have both Mac and Windows in our office (separate machines). Apple does have the Beta in progress for Windows on a Mac machine, but I've heard of lots of problems with it right now. I personally won't be testing it on my machines, especially since we use them to run a business. I can't cope with any down time I might run into. My best advice is to have both machines running in your office. About 1/2 of our business is run on the Mac and the rest on the Windows. We felt it was too much business to lose by not having both, since I refuse to give up my Mac. For most of what I do the Mac dances circles around our latest and greatest Window's machines.

If you have any other questions feel free to call.
